What made-up name would be terrible for a miniature wargaming show or convention?

For example: MaggotCon

(Keep it clean, please.)

Stryderg15 Apr 2024 5:31 p.m. PST

B.O. Con!
In fond memory of Brian Orlafson, or some other fictitious name.

Woke Con sounds great!!!

Hotel services would keep putting out fresh pots of coffee in the game rooms.

Gen-Aside Con.

Tgerritsen Supporting Member of TMP15 Apr 2024 6:46 p.m. PST

My wife absolutely loathes Game Hole Con, which is a real con. I don't mind it.

Suck Con would be a bad title.

Bore Con probably up there.

KarenCon…

A game convention run by the KMGS, (Karen Miniature Game Society). After you have been told to register, they tell you what games you are allowed to play. They oversee what vendors are allowed to come to the show. They tell you what you can and cannot (mostly cannot), buy from the vendors, and whenever you are playing and start to win, they want to know who you are and threaten to call the cops.

DefCon? "We're here at DefCon 3…"

Or possibly HardenedCon, which can be held either in a prison or a bunker.

Smell-O-Con – in tribute to the old concept of Smell-O-Vision

ScamCon – Win by cheating

IWinCon – Speaks for itself

Martian wins with NecronomiCon 😈

I agree! NecronomiCon gets my vote!

Personal logo miniMo Supporting Member of TMP16 Apr 2024 4:42 p.m. PST

There are a couple of very successful NecronomiCons.

Tampa Fl since 1982:

A separate one in Providence RI since 2013:

There have been a couple of different ConCons too.

Another vote for ExCon. The convention for former players or their former significant others.

HMS Exeter16 Apr 2024 6:46 p.m. PST

Cold Wars.

HMS Exeter16 Apr 2024 9:39 p.m. PST

I thought attendance at Excon would be limited to people willing to stand by their "convictions."

Volleyfire17 Apr 2024 2:20 a.m. PST

Everything Sucks con. I believe that is an American term.

robert piepenbrink Supporting Member of TMP17 Apr 2024 2:39 a.m. PST

You're spelling it wrong. X-Con only does fantasy and science fiction games. At least, that's what I want to believe.

@Tgerritsen:

There's an actual convention called BorCon.

I've just seen an advert for DieCon, even worse than Armageddon, both real cons. At the very least DiceCon would have been better !
